One of the things I've always had on my list of wants is a fine khaki trench coat. Unsurprisingly, seeing these posts (this, this, this, and this) on The Sartorialist just days ago did nothing but intensify my longing. I guess it was just my lucky day, then, when I walked into the Topman store in Robinson's Galleria and found this khaki classic waiting for me.

Double breasted, belted, cropped, and relatively wearable in the tropics, I really can't ask for anything more for my first ever trench coat. A slight decrease in the price would be nice, though, given its P4,750 asking price. But a quick look at the quality and details will show that it's worth every penny. An early Christmas present for myself, it definitely makes me look forward to those chilly December days a whole lot more!
